18

(a) the successor entity shall, except where such assumption is automatic by operation of law, expressly assume such obligations by an amendment to this Indenture, executed by the Company and such successor entity, if applicable, and delivered to the Trustee, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee;

(b) immediately after giving effect to such assumption of obligations, no Event of Default and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing;

(c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such assumption complies with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such assumption have been complied with; and

(or their respective successors).

Upon any such assumption, the successor entity shall succeed to, and substitute, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with respect to any such Securities with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named as the Company in this Indenture, and the Company or any legal and valid successor Person which shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed herein, shall be released from all liability as obligor and any other obligations and covenants under this Indenture and under any such Securities, as the case may be.

For the purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph, in the case of a modification of the terms and conditions of the Securities, any variation in the ranking of the relevant Securities as set out in Section 13.01 resulting from any such modification or, in the case of a substitution of the Securities, any difference between the ranking of such Securities as set out in Section 13.01 and that of the

19

Qualifying Securities by which such Securities are substituted, shall be deemed not to be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of such Securities where the ranking of the Securities or, if the Securities are substituted, of the Qualifying Securities by which such Securities are substituted, following such substitution or modification, as the case may be, is at least the same ranking as was applicable to such Securities under Section 13.01 on the issue date of such Securities.

For the purposes of the second immediately preceding paragraph, the notice to be delivered by the Company shall specify the relevant details of the manner in which the relevant substitution or modification shall take effect and where the Holders of such series can inspect or obtain copies of the new terms and conditions of the Securities of such series or, if such Securities are substituted, of the Qualifying Securities by which such Securities are substituted. Such substitution or modification will be effected without any cost or charge to such Holders.

If the Securities of a series are substituted in accordance with this Section 8.04, such Securities shall cease to bear interest from (and including) the date of substitution thereof.

Each Holder and beneficial owner of the Securities of any series shall, by virtue of its acquisition of the Securities of any series or any beneficial interest therein, be deemed to acknowledge, accept, consent to and agree to be bound by any substitution of or modification to the terms of the Securities of such series as set forth in this Section 8.04 and to grant to the Company and the Trustee full power and authority to take any action and/or to execute and deliver any document in the name and/or on behalf of such Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, which is necessary or convenient to complete the substitution of or modification to the terms of the Securities of such series, as applicable. Each Holder and beneficial owner of the Securities of any series, by virtue of its acquisition of the Securities of any series or any beneficial interest therein, to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, waives any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee and/or the Company for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee and/or the Company in respect of, and agrees that neither the Trustee nor the Company shall be liable for, any action that the Trustee or the Company takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in connection with the substitution of or modification to the terms of the Securities upon the occurrence of an Eligible Liabilities Event.”

(a) With the consent, as evidenced in an Act or Acts, as the case may be, of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series Outstanding immediately prior thereto affected by such supplemental indenture voting as a class, the Company and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or the Securities of such series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under this Indenture and of waiving future compliance with respect to the Indenture and the Securities of such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holder of each Security Outstanding immediately prior thereto affected thereby, shall

21

(i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any premium or installment of interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Outstanding Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon (except that Holders of not less than 75% in principal amount of Outstanding Securities of a series may consent by Act, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Outstanding Securities of such series, to the postponement of the Stated Maturity of any installment of interest for a period not exceeding three years from the original Stated Maturity of such installment (which original Stated Maturity shall have been fixed, for the avoidance of doubt, prior to any previous postponements of such installment)) or any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof or otherwise, or change the obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 10.04 (except as contemplated by Section 3.07 and permitted by Section 9.01(a)), or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.02 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 5.04, or change the redemption provisions, or change the Place of Payment, Currency in which the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Outstanding Security is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or with respect to any Outstanding Security on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or

(iii) modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section 5.13, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, or

(iv) change in any manner adverse to the interests of the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series the terms and conditions of the obligations of the Company in respect of the due and punctual payment of the principal thereof (and premium, if any) and interest (including Additional Amounts), if any, thereon,

except in each case with respect to any modification or amendment of the Indenture or the Securities pursuant to a supplemental indenture which is entered into pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 9.01 (in which each such case neither the consent nor the affirmative vote of any Holder of an Outstanding Security affected shall be required).

(b) A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which shall have been included expressly and solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

22

Section 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes and every Holder of a Security of a series affected thereby theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture.

(p)    Article 10 of the Original Indenture shall be deleted in its entirety with respect to the SNP Securities only and shall not apply to the SNP Securities and shall, with respect to the SNP Securities only, be replaced by the following:

“ARTICLE 10

COVENANTS

Section 10.01. Payment of Principal and Any Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of each series that it will (subject to the provisions of Section 3.07, Article 13 and Article 15) duly and punctually pay the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities of such series in accordance with, and except as provided in, the terms thereof and this Indenture.

Section 10.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an Office or Agency where Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series relating thereto and this Indenture may be served.

23

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other Offices or Agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an Office or Agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other Office or Agency. The Company hereby designates as the Place of Payment for each series the Corporate Trust Office, and initially appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, for purposes of such Office or Agency. The Company may subsequently appoint an additional place or places where such Securities may be payable. The Company initially appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Paying Agent and transfer agent and The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its corporate trust office in New York, as the Security Registrar.

Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, if and so long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required, at least one exchange rate agent.

Section 10.03. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as the Company’s Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it shall, on or before each due date for payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to, any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it shall, on or prior to each due date for payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Securities of such series, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. The obligation of the Company to pay any such amount shall be satisfied upon the deposit referred to in this paragraph. Receipt of the relevant sum by the Paying Agent (other than the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) shall discharge the Company’s obligations in respect of the relevant payment.

The Company shall cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent shall:

(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to, Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture;

(ii) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the making of any payment of principal, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series; and

24

(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

The Company may at any time and for any purpose pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

If, prior to the payment to Holders of any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of any series the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority exercises its Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to such series of Securities, such money shall be discharged from such trust and (if then deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent) shall be paid to the Company, on Company Request.

Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal or any such premium or interest or any such Additional Amounts has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company, on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 10.04. Additional Amounts. The provisions of this Section 10.04 shall be applicable to the Securities of each series except as specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution creating such series of Securities or in the Officer’s Certificate for such series of Securities. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company hereby further agrees that any amounts to be paid by the Company with respect to each Security shall be paid without withholding or deduction for or on account of any and all present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature (“Taxes”) unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event any such withholding or deduction is imposed or levied in respect of payment of interest (but not principal or premium) by or on behalf of the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power to tax, the Company will pay to the Holder such Additional Amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by the Holder of such Security under this Indenture, after such withholding or deduction, shall equal the amount of interest, if any, which would have been receivable by such Holder in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts will not apply:

(a) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for such Taxes by reason of such Holder (or the beneficial owner of the Security for whose benefit such Holder holds such Security) having some connection with the Kingdom of Spain other than the mere holding of the Security (or such beneficial interest) or the mere crediting of the Security to its securities account with the relevant Depository;

25

(b) in the case of a Security presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined below), except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on such thirtieth day assuming that day to have been a Business Day in such place of presentment;

(c) in respect of any Tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure by the Holder or beneficial owner of the Security to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or beneficial owner of that Security, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the Kingdom of Spain or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to reduction of or relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(d) in respect of any Security presented for payment (where presentation is required) by or on behalf of a Holder who would be able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Security to another Paying Agent; or

(e) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder if the Company does not receive any relevant information as may be required by Spanish tax laws and regulations (including any binding rulings), including a duly executed and completed Payment Statement from the Paying Agent.

Additional Amounts will also not be paid with respect to any payment on any Security to any Holder who is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income, for Spanish tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, member of such partnership, interest holder in that limited liability company or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been a Holder of such Security.

No Additional Amounts will be paid by the Company, the Trustee or any Paying Agent on account of any withholding or deduction from a payment on, or in respect of, the Securities where such withholding or deduction is imposed pursuant to any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in connection with Sections 1471-1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder (“FATCA”), any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and the Kingdom of Spain or any other jurisdiction with respect to FATCA, or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted or issued in any jurisdiction implementing, or relating to, FATCA or any intergovernmental agreement.

For the purposes of (b) above, the “Relevant Date” means, in respect of any payment, the date on which such payment first becomes due and payable, except that if the full amount of the moneys payable has not been received by the Paying Agent on or before such due date, it means the first date on which the full amount of such moneys having been so received and made available for payment to Holders, notice to that effect is duly given to the Holders in accordance with this Indenture.

Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

26

Section 10.05. Statement as to Default. For so long as any Securities of any series are Outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of its fiscal years ending after the date hereof, a brief certificate, complying with Section 314(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, from one or more authorized representatives of the Company, stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signer or signers thereof, the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder).

Section 10.06. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article 8, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Company to preserve any such right or franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to any Holder.

Section 10.07. Waiver of Certain Covenants. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 9.01(b) or Section 9.01(c) for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series or any term, provision or condition set forth in an indenture supplemental hereto, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.”

(q)    Section 11.08 of the Original Indenture shall be deleted in its entirety with respect to the SNP Securities only and shall not apply to the SNP Securities and shall, with respect to the SNP Securities only, be replaced by the following:

“Section 11.08. Redemption for Taxation Reasons. Unless otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, all or part only of the Securities of any series may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of this Article 11 at the option of the Company if, as the result of any change in or any amendment to the laws or regulations of the Kingdom of Spain (including any treaty to which the Kingdom of Spain is a party) or any political subdivision or any authority or agency thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change, amendment, application or interpretation becomes effective on or after the issue date of the Securities of such series, (i) the Company would become obligated to pay Additional Amounts in making any payments under the Securities with respect thereto as a result of any taxes, levies, imposts or other governmental charges imposed (whether by way of withholding or deduction or otherwise) by or for the account of the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power to tax, (ii) the Company would not be entitled to claim a deduction in computing tax liabilities in the Kingdom of Spain in respect of any interest to be paid on the next Interest Payment Date on such series of Securities or the value of such deduction to the Company would be reduced, or (iii) the applicable tax treatment of the Securities would be materially affected; provided that, in the case of (i) above, no such notice to the Trustee of the redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to deduct or withhold tax or pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the Securities then due.

Prior to any notice of redemption of such Securities pursuant to Section 11.04, the Company shall provide the Trustee with (i) an Officer’s Certificate of the Company stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of circumstances showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to redeem such Securities pursuant to this Section have been satisfied; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding paragraph prevail.”

27

(r)    Section 11.09 of the Original Indenture shall be deleted in its entirety with respect to the SNP Securities only and shall not apply to the SNP Securities and shall, with respect to the SNP Securities only, be replaced by the following:

“Section 11.09. Redemption for Eligible Liabilities Event. Unless otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, all (but not less than all) of the Securities of such series may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of this Article 11 at the option of the Company if an Eligible Liabilities Event occurs on or after the issue date of such Securities.

Prior to any notice of redemption of such Securities pursuant to Section 11.04, the Company shall provide the Trustee with (i) an Officer’s Certificate of the Company stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of circumstances showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to redeem such Securities pursuant to this Section 11.09 have been satisfied; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the circumstances referred to in the preceding paragraph prevail.”

(s)    The following Section 11.10 shall be added to the Original Indenture with respect to the SNP Securities only:

“Section 11.10. Redemption at the Option of the Company. Unless otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, all or part only of the Securities of such series may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of this Article 11 at the option of the Company on any optional redemption date or any date during any optional redemption period, as the case may be, that may be applicable to the Securities of such series.”

(t)    Section 13.01 of the Original Indenture shall be deleted in its entirety with respect to the SNP Securities only and shall not apply to the SNP Securities and shall, with respect to the SNP Securities only, be replaced by the following:

“Section 13.01. Status and Ranking of Securities. The payment obligations of the Company under the Securities of any series on account of principal constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations (créditos ordinarios) of the Company and, in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the Insolvency Law and other applicable laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in the Kingdom of Spain (including, without limitation, Additional Provision 14.2 of Law 11/2015), but subject to any other ranking that may apply as a result of any mandatory provision of law (or otherwise), upon the insolvency (concurso de acreedores) of the Company will rank:

(i) junior to any (a) privileged claims (créditos privilegiados) (which shall include, among other claims, any claims in respect of deposits for the purposes of Additional Provision 14.1 of Law 11/2015), (b) claims against the insolvency estate (créditos contra la masa), and (c) Senior Preferred Obligations;

(ii) pari passu without any preference or priority among themselves and with all other Senior Non-Preferred Obligations; and

(iii) senior to all subordinated obligations of, or claims against, the Company (créditos subordinados), present and future,

28

such that any relevant claim on account of principal in respect of the Securities will be satisfied, as appropriate, only to the extent that all claims ranking senior to it have first been satisfied in full, and then pro rata with any claims ranking pari passu with it, in each case as provided above.

Upon the insolvency (concurso de acreedores) of the Company, in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the Insolvency Law and other applicable laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in the Kingdom of Spain, but subject to any other ranking that may apply as a result of any mandatory provision of law (or otherwise), the payment obligations of the Company under the Securities of any series with respect to claims for accrued but unpaid interest on such Securities shall constitute subordinated claims (créditos subordinados) against the Company ranking in accordance with the provisions of the Insolvency Law. No further interest on the Securities of any series shall accrue from the date of declaration of the insolvency of the Company.

Prior to any voluntary or necessary declaration of insolvency of the Company under the Insolvency Law or any voluntary or mandatory liquidation of the Company or similar procedure, the Company may be subject to an Early Intervention or Resolution or to any other exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power and the Securities of any series may be subject to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power, in which case no Holder (which, for the purposes of this Article 13, includes each holder of a beneficial interest in the Securities) of any Security shall have any claim against the Company in connection with or arising out of any such exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power.”

(u)    Section 13.06 of the Original Indenture shall be deleted in its entirety with respect to the SNP Securities only and shall not apply to the SNP Securities and shall, with respect to the SNP Securities only, be replaced by the following:

“Section 13.06. Article Applicable to Paying Agents. At all times when a Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article 13 shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article 13 in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Section 13.05 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if the Company or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Trustee also acts as Paying Agent, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article 13 shall (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including the Trustee in its capacity as Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if the Paying Agent were named in this Article 13 in addition to or in place of the Trustee.”

(v)    The first paragraph of Section 15.01 of the Original Indenture shall be deleted with respect to the SNP Securities only and shall not apply to the SNP Securities and shall, with respect to the SNP Securities only, be replaced by the following:

(a) Notwithstanding any other term of the Securities of any series, the Indenture or any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and any Holder of the Securities of any series, by its acquisition of the Securities of any series, each Holder (which, for the purposes of this Article 15, includes each holder of a beneficial interest in the Securities of any series) acknowledges, accepts, consents to and agrees to be bound by: (i) the exercise and effects of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority, which may be imposed with or without any prior notice with respect to the Securities of any series, and may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof: (a) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the Amounts Due on the Securities of any series; (b) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the Amounts Due on the Securities of any series into shares, other securities or other obligations of the Company or another Person (and the issue to or conferral on the Holder of any such shares, securities or obligations), including by means of an amendment, modification or variation of the terms of the Securities; (c) the cancellation of the

29

Securities of any series; (d) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the Securities of any series or amendment of the amount of interest payable on the Securities of any series, or the date on which the interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; and (ii) the variation of the terms of the Securities of any series or the rights of the Holders thereunder or under the Indenture, as deemed necessary by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority, to give effect to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority.”

(w)    Section 15.02 of the Original Indenture shall be deleted in its entirety with respect to the SNP Securities only and shall not apply to the SNP Securities and shall, with respect to the SNP Securities only, be replaced by the following:

“Section 15.02. BRRD Liabilities. Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of this Indenture or any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and the Trustee, the Trustee acknowledges and accepts that a BRRD Liability arising under this Indenture may be subject to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority, and acknowledges, accepts, consents to and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the exercise and effects of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority in relation to any BRRD Liability of the Company to the Trustee, which may be imposed with or without any prior notice and (without limitation) may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof:

(i) the reduction of all, or a portion, of such BRRD Liability or outstanding amounts due thereon;

(ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of such BRRD Liability or outstanding amounts due thereon into shares, other securities or other obligations of the Company or another Person, and the issue to or conferral on the Trustee of any such shares, securities or obligations, including by means of an amendment, modification or variation of the terms of any BRRD Liability;

(iii) the cancellation of such BRRD Liability or outstanding amounts due thereon; and/or

ARTICLE 3

SNP SECURITIES

Section 3.01.    Creation of SNP Securities. There is hereby created a new series of senior non-preferred debt securities, the SNP Securities, to be issued under the Indenture. The SNP Securities will be issued by means of the public deed of issuance executed on September 8, 2022 and registered with the Mercantile Registry of Vizcaya (Bizkaia) on September 13, 2022.

Section 3.02.    Limitation on Aggregate Principal Amount of SNP Securities. The aggregate principal amount of the SNP Securities shall initially be limited to $750,000,000 (except for SNP Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other SNP Securities of such series pursuant to Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 9.05 or 11.07 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby) or the terms of such SNP Securities and except for any SNP Securities that, pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby), are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered thereunder). The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of SNP Securities, create and issue further securities having the same terms and conditions as the previously issued SNP Securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the issue date, the original interest accrual date and/or the issue price), so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Outstanding SNP Securities; provided, however, that any such further issuance will only be made if either such additional securities are issued with no more than de minimis original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes or any such further issuance is a “qualified reopening” as such term is defined under U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-2(k)(3) promulgated under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Section 3.03.    Payment of Principal. The principal of the Outstanding SNP Securities shall be due and payable on the Stated Maturity Date or on such earlier date as the principal thereof may become due and payable in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Section 3.04.    Interest and Interest Rate. (a) From (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) September 14, 2027 (the “Reset Date”) or any date of earlier redemption, the SNP Securities will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.138% per annum. From (and including) the Reset Date to (but excluding) the Stated Maturity Date or any date of earlier redemption, the SNP Securities will bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to the 1-year UST, as determined by the Calculation Agent, plus 270 basis points, such sum being converted to a semi-annual rate in accordance with market convention (rounded to the fifth decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards).

(b)    The Issuer will pay interest in arrears on the SNP Securities semi-annually on March 14 and September 14 of each year, commencing on March 14, 2023, up to (and including) the Stated Maturity Date or any date of earlier redemption (each an “Interest Payment Date”).

(c)    Interest on the SNP Securities will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Except as described below for the first Interest Payment Date, on each Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will pay interest on the SNP Securities for the period commencing on and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding that Interest Payment Date.

(d)    On the first Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will pay interest for the period beginning on (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) March 14, 2023.

(e)    If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related interest payment shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date.

(f)    If the Stated Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption of any SNP Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of principal and interest on the applicable SNP Security will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest will accrue for the period from and after such Stated Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption.

31

(g)    Interest on each SNP Security will be paid only to the Person in whose name such SNP Security was registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for the applicable Interest Payment Date.

Section 3.05.    Denominations, Minimum Purchase Amount. The SNP Securities may be issued in minimum denominations of $200,000 with increments of $200,000 thereafter.

Section 3.06.    Calculation Agent. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Issuer hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch as its initial Calculation Agent under the Indenture for the purpose of calculating the interest rates on the SNP Securities in the manner and at the times provided in Section 3.04 of this Second Supplemental Indenture, and the Calculation Agent hereby accepts such appointment as the Issuer’s agent. No amendment to the provisions of the SNP Securities relating to the duties or obligations of the Calculation Agent hereunder may become effective without the prior written consent of the Calculation Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b)    The Calculation Agent shall exercise due care to determine the interest rates on the SNP Securities and shall communicate the same to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Depository, the Paying Agent and any other paying agent identified to it in writing as soon as practicable after each determination. The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of the Holder of any SNP Security, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to such SNP Security.

(c)    The Calculation Agent accepts its obligations set forth herein, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the Issuer agrees:

(i)    The Calculation Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as may be agreed upon in writing with the Issuer for all services rendered by the Calculation Agent, and the Issuer promises to pay such compensation and to reimburse the Calculation Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder upon receipt of such invoices as the Issuer shall reasonably require. The Issuer also agrees to indemnify the Calculation Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim (regardless of who asserts such claim) of liability and excluding taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Calculation Agent) incurred by the Calculation Agent that arises out of or in connection with its accepting appointment as, or acting as, Calculation Agent hereunder, except such as may result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Calculation Agent or any of its agents or employees. The Calculation Agent shall incur no liability and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer for, or in respect of, any actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the Calculation Agent in reliance upon (1) the opinion or advice of legal or other professional advisors reasonably satisfactory to it or (2) written instructions from the Issuer. The Calculation Agent shall not be liable for any error resulting from the use of or reliance on a source of information used in good faith and with due care to calculate any interest rate hereunder. The provisions of this section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Calculation Agent and the termination of this Second Supplemental Indenture.

(ii)    In acting under this Second Supplemental Indenture and in connection with the SNP Securities, the Calculation Agent is acting solely as agent of the Issuer and does not assume any obligations to, or relationship of agency or trust for or with, any of the owners or Holders of the SNP Securities.

(iii)    The Calculation Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken or anything suffered by it in reliance upon the terms of the SNP Securities, any notice, direction, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been approved or signed by the proper party or parties.

32

(iv)    The Calculation Agent, its officers, directors, employees and shareholders may become the owners of, or acquire any interest in, any SNP Securities, with the same rights that it or they would have if it were not the Calculation Agent, and may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Issuer as freely as if it were not the Calculation Agent.

(v)    Neither the Calculation Agent nor its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys shall be liable to the Issuer for any act or omission hereunder, or for any error of judgment made in good faith by it or them, except in the case of its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(vi)    The Calculation Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(vii)    The Calculation Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties and only such duties as are herein specifically set forth, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Second Supplemental Indenture against the Calculation Agent.

(viii)    Unless herein otherwise specifically provided, any order, certificate, notice, request, direction or other communication from the Issuer made or given by it under any provision of this Second Supplemental Indenture shall be sufficient if signed by any officer of the Issuer.

(ix)    The Calculation Agent may perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, and the Calculation Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

(x)    In no event shall the Calculation Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Calculation Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(xi)    In no event shall the Calculation Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Second Supplemental Indenture arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services.

(d)    The Calculation Agent may at any time resign as Calculation Agent by giving written notice to the Issuer of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall not be earlier than 30 days after the receipt of such notice by the Issuer, unless the Issuer agrees to accept less notice. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer (with or without cause) at any time by the filing with it of any instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Issuer and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the date of the appointment by the Issuer, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Calculation Agent. If within 30 days after notice of resignation or removal has been given, a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed, the Calculation Agent may, at the expense of the Issuer, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Calculation Agent. A successor Calculation Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Issuer and the successor

33

Calculation Agent. Upon the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent and acceptance by it of such appointment, the Calculation Agent so succeeded shall cease to be such Calculation Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation or removal, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuer of its compensation, if any is owed to it, for services rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder and to the payment of all other amounts owed to it hereunder.

(e)    Any successor Calculation Agent appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Issuer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Calculation Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as such Calculation Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obliged to transfer and deliver, and such successor Calculation Agent shall be entitled to receive, copies of any relevant records maintained by such predecessor Calculation Agent.

(f)    Any Person into which the Calculation Agent may be merged, or any corporation with which the Calculation Agent may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation or to which the Calculation Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets or business shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Calculation Agent under this Second Supplemental Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. Notice of any such merger, consolidation or sale shall forthwith be given to the Issuer and the Trustee.

(g)    In the event of any conflict relating to the rights or obligations of the Calculation Agent in connection with the calculation of the interest rate on the SNP Securities, the relevant terms of this Second Supplemental Indenture shall govern such rights and obligations.

Section 3.07.    Paying Agent. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Issuer hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch as the initial Paying Agent under the Indenture for the purpose of performing the functions of the Paying Agent with respect to the SNP Securities, and the Paying Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

(b)    The Paying Agent shall exercise due care in performing the functions of the Paying Agent for the SNP Securities.

(c)    The Issuer and the Paying Agent shall, in connection with any Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, comply with the procedures set forth in Exhibit B, including the timely provision by the Paying Agent of a duly executed and completed Payment Statement to the Issuer. If the timely provision of a duly executed and completed Payment Statement is no longer necessary under Spanish law to allow payments on the SNP Securities to be made free and clear of Spanish withholding tax or deduction on account of Spanish taxes, this Section 3.07(c) shall cease to be in effect and the Issuer and the Paying Agent shall no longer be required to comply with the procedures set forth in Exhibit B, including the timely provision by the Paying Agent of a duly executed and completed Payment Statement to the Issuer with respect to any Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date occurring on or after the date on which the timely provision of such Payment Statement is no longer necessary under Spanish law to allow payments on the SNP Securities to be made free and clear of Spanish withholding tax or deduction on account of Spanish taxes. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Paying Agent shall not be liable for any amounts owed to any person due to its failure to properly comply with the procedures referred to in this Section 3.07(c) except such as may result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Paying Agent or any of its agents or employees.

(d)    So long as any principal amount of the SNP Securities remains outstanding, the Issuer shall, insofar as it is practicable, maintain, implement or arrange for the implementation of procedures to facilitate the timely provision by the Paying Agent of a duly executed and completed Payment Statement in respect of the payments referred to in this Section 3.07 under the SNP Securities or the collection of any other documentation concerning the SNP Securities that may be required under Spanish law to allow payments on the SNP Securities to be made free and clear of Spanish withholding tax.

34

(e)    The Paying Agent accepts its obligations set forth herein, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the Issuer agrees:

(i)    The Paying Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as may be agreed in writing with the Issuer for all services rendered by the Paying Agent, and the Issuer promises to pay such compensation and to reimburse the Paying Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder upon receipt of such invoices as the Issuer shall reasonably require. The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Paying Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claims or expenses (including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability and excluding taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Paying Agent) incurred by the Paying Agent that arises out of or in connection with its acting as Paying Agent hereunder, except such as may result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Paying Agent or any of its agents or employees. The Paying Agent shall incur no liability and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer for, or in respect of, any actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the Paying Agent in reliance upon (A) the written opinion of counsel satisfactory to it and upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Issuer or (B) written instructions from the Issuer.

The Paying Agent shall notify the Company in writing of the commencement of any action or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought promptly after any officer of the Trustee becomes aware of such commencement (provided that the failure to make such notification shall not affect the Paying Agent’s rights hereunder) and the Company shall be entitled to participate therein. The Paying Agent shall not be authorized to settle a claim without the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(ii)    In acting under the Indenture and in connection with the SNP Securities, the Paying Agent is acting solely as agent of the Issuer and does not assume any obligations to, or relationship of agency or trust for or with, any of the Holders of such SNP Securities.

(iii)    The Paying Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken or anything suffered by it in reliance upon the terms of the SNP Securities, any notice, direction, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been approved or signed by the proper party or parties.

(f)    (i) The Paying Agent may at any time resign as Paying Agent by giving written notice to the Issuer of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall not be earlier than 60 days after the receipt of such notice by the Issuer, unless the Issuer agrees in writing to accept less notice. The Paying Agent may be removed by the Issuer (with or

35

without cause) at any time by the filing with it of any instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Issuer by any proper officer or an authorized person thereof and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective, subject to the Company providing a copy of such notice to the Trustee. Such resignation or removal shall take effect only upon the date of the appointment by the Issuer, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Paying Agent. If within 60 days after notice of resignation or removal has been given, a successor Paying Agent has not been appointed, the Paying Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Paying Agent. A successor Paying Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Issuer by any proper officer or an authorized person thereof and the successor Paying Agent. Upon the appointment of a successor Paying Agent and acceptance by it of such appointment, the Paying Agent so superseded shall cease to be such Paying Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation or removal, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuer of its compensation, if any is owed to it, for services rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder.

(ii)    Any successor Paying Agent appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Issuer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Paying Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as such Paying Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obliged to transfer and deliver, and such successor Paying Agent shall be entitled to receive, copies of any relevant records maintained by such predecessor Paying Agent.

(iii)    Any Person into which the Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which the Paying Agent may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Paying Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Paying Agent, or all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Paying Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Paying Agent under the Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

(b)    SNP Securities represented by a Global Certificate may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only: (i) by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository, (ii) by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or to another nominee of the Depository, or (iii) by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

(c)    Beneficial interests in any SNP Securities represented by a Global Certificate will be exchangeable for SNP Securities represented by definitive certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) only if: (i) the Depository notifies the Issuer in writing that it is unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue to act as Depository or that it has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, in either case, a successor Depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 60 days after the date of such notice from the Depository, (ii) the Issuer notifies the Trustee in writing that it has reasonably elected to cause the issuance of SNP Securities represented by Definitive Certificates or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the SNP Securities.

Section 3.09.    Redemption. (a) The provisions of Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby) will apply to the SNP Securities. Any such redemption shall be in compliance with the Applicable Banking Regulations and, if required, the Issuer shall have obtained the prior consent of the Regulator.

The “Redemption Date” of any SNP Securities to be redeemed will be any day fixed by the Issuer for redemption of such SNP Securities and specified in the applicable notice of redemption provided by the Issuer pursuant to Section 11.04 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby); provided, however, that in any case where the Redemption Date shall not be a Business Day, then the SNP Securities will not become due and payable and deposit of the Redemption Price will not be made on such Redemption Date, but the SNP Securities will become due and payable and deposit of the Redemption Price will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day with the same force and effect as if the SNP Securities had become due and payable and the deposit of the Redemption Price had been made on the Redemption Date, and no interest shall accrue on the amount payable on such Redemption Date or at such time for the period from and after such Redemption Date.

(b)    All or part only of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby) at the option of the Issuer if, as the result of any change in or any amendment to the laws or regulations of the Kingdom of Spain (including any treaty to which the Kingdom of Spain is a party) or any political subdivision or any authority or agency thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change, amendment, application or interpretation becomes effective on or after the Issue Date of the SNP Securities, (i) the Issuer would become obligated to pay Additional Amounts in making any payments under the SNP Securities with respect thereto as a result of any taxes, levies, imposts or other governmental charges imposed (whether by way of withholding or deduction or otherwise) by or for the account of the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power to tax, (ii) the Issuer would not be entitled to claim a deduction in computing tax liabilities in the Kingdom of Spain in respect of any interest to be paid on the next Interest Payment Date on the SNP Securities or the value of such deduction to the Issuer would be reduced, or (iii) the applicable tax treatment of the SNP Securities would be materially affected; provided that, in the case of (i) above, no such notice to the Trustee of the redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to deduct or withhold tax or pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the SNP Securities then due.

(c)    All (but not less than all) of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby) at the option of the Issuer if an Eligible Liabilities Event occurs on or after the Issue Date of the SNP Securities.

Section 3.11.    Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of Spanish Bail-in Power. (a) Notwithstanding any other term of the SNP Securities, the Indenture or any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and any Holder, by its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder (which, for the purposes of this Section 3.11, includes each holder of a beneficial interest in the SNP Securities) acknowledges, accepts, consents to and agrees to be bound by: (i) the exercise and effects of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority, which may be imposed with or without any prior notice with respect to the SNP Securities, and may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof: (1) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the Amounts Due on the SNP Securities; (2) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the Amounts Due on the SNP Securities into shares, other securities or other obligations of the Company or another Person (and the issue to or conferral on the Holder of any such shares, securities or obligations), including by means of an amendment, modification or variation of the terms of the SNP Securities; (3) the cancellation of the SNP Securities; (4) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the SNP Securities or amendment of the amount of interest payable on the SNP Securities, or the date on which the interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; and (ii) the variation of the terms of the SNP Securities or the rights of Holders thereunder or under the Indenture, as deemed necessary by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority, to give effect to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority.

(b)    By its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder acknowledges and agrees that neither a reduction or cancellation, in part or in full, of the Amounts Due on the SNP Securities or the conversion thereof into another security or obligation of the Company or another Person, in each case as a result of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Company, nor the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the SNP Securities shall: (i) give rise to a default or event of default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Defaults) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act; or (ii) be a default or an Event of Default with respect to the SNP Securities or under the Indenture. By its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder further acknowledges and agrees that no repayment or payment of Amounts Due on the SNP Securities shall become due and payable or be paid after the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority if, and to the extent that, such amounts have been reduced, converted, cancelled, amended or altered as a result of such exercise.

(c)    By its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder, to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, waives any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the SNP Securities. Additionally, by its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder acknowledges and agrees that, upon the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the SNP Securities: (i) the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from the Holders with respect to any portion of the SNP Securities that is written down, converted to equity and/or cancelled under Section 5.12 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby); and (ii) the Indenture shall not impose any duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority; provided, however, that notwithstanding the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the SNP Securities, so long as any SNP Securities remain Outstanding, there shall at all times be a trustee for the SNP Securities in accordance with the Indenture, and the resignation and/or removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee shall continue to be governed by the Indenture, including to the extent no additional supplemental indenture or amendment is agreed upon in the event the SNP Securities remain Outstanding following the completion of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power.

(d)    By its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder shall be deemed to have authorized, directed and requested the Depository and any direct participant therein or other intermediary through which it holds such SNP Securities to take any and all necessary actions, if required, to implement the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the SNP Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder.

38

(e)    Upon the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the SNP Securities, the Company or the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority (as the case may be) shall provide a written notice to the Depository as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power for purposes of notifying the Holders of such SNP Securities. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes.

(f)    If the Issuer has elected to redeem the SNP Securities but prior to the payment of the Redemption Price to Holders the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority exercises its Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the SNP Securities the relevant redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, there shall be no redemption and consequently no payment of the Redemption Price (and any accrued interest and Additional Amounts payable under Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby)) will be due and payable.

(g)    Upon the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the SNP Securities which results in the redemption, cancellation, or the conversion into other securities, of all the Amounts Due on the SNP Securities or such SNP Securities otherwise ceasing to be outstanding, the Indenture shall be deemed satisfied and discharged as to such series of SNP Securities and such SNP Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding”.

(h)    Each Holder that acquires SNP Securities in the secondary market or otherwise shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree to be bound by and consent to the same provisions specified in this Second Supplemental Indenture to the same extent as the Holders that acquire the SNP Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to this Section 3.11.

Section 3.12.    Notices. Any notice, communication or other document (other than a notice, communication or other document delivered pursuant to the procedures set forth in Exhibit B, including a Payment Statement) required to be given to any person hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 1.05 or Section 1.06 (as the case may be) of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby). Any notice hereunder given by telephone, telecopy or letter shall be deemed to be received when in the ordinary course of transmission or post, as the case may be, it would be received.

Section 3.13.    Instructions by Electronic Means. The Trustee and each Agent shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to the Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Trustee and each Agent an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee or any Agent Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee or the relevant Agent in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s or the relevant Agent’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee and the Agents cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee or the relevant Agent shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee or such Agent have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee or the relevant Agent and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. Neither the Trustee nor the relevant Agent shall be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s or such Agent’s reasonable reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee and the Agents, including without limitation the

39

risk of the Trustee or any Agent acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and the Agents and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee or the relevant Agent immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SECURITIES

1. General. This security is one of a duly authorized issue of a series of senior non-preferred debt securities of the Company, designated as its 6.138% Senior Non-Preferred Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Notes due 2028 (Series 8) (referred to as the “SNP Securities”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000 (except as otherwise provided below) and issued or to be issued pursuant to an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”) dated as of June 25, 2019 among the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as trustee (together with any successor Trustee under the Indenture (as defined herein), the “Trustee”), transfer agent (together with any successor Transfer Agent under the Indenture, the “Transfer Agent”) and paying agent (together with any successor Paying Agent under the Indenture, the “Paying Agent”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, as security registrar (together with any successor Security Registrar under the Indenture, the “Security Registrar”), as amended and supplemented prior to the issuance and authentication hereof by a supplemental indenture dated as of September 14, 2022 among the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Trustee, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and calculation agent (together with any successor Calculation Agent under the Indenture, the “Calculation Agent”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Security Registrar (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture (as amended and supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture), the “Indenture”). The SNP Securities are subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, and such terms and conditions shall have effect as if incorporated herein. All capitalized terms used in this SNP Security but not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Indenture and shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. References herein to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision of the Base Indenture shall refer to any such Article, Section or other subdivision of the Base Indenture as amended and supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture. The holders of the SNP Securities (each a “Holder”) will be entitled to the benefits of, be bound by, and be deemed to have notice of, all of the provisions of the Indenture and reference is made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the SNP Securities and of the terms upon which the SNP Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. A copy of the Indenture is on file and may be inspected at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this SNP Security and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control.

The SNP Securities will initially be issued in the form of one or more global certificates representing the securities of this series in fully registered form without interest coupons (each a “Global Security”) deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon as custodian for the Depository. The SNP Securities will not be issued in bearer form. The SNP Securities, and transfers thereof, shall be registered as provided in Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture. Any person in whose name a SNP Security shall be registered may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) be treated at all times, and for all purposes, by the Company and the Trustee as the absolute owner of such SNP Security, regardless of any notice of ownership, theft or loss or of any writing thereon.

2. Principal and Interest. (a) The principal of the Outstanding SNP Securities shall be due and payable on September 14, 2028 (the “Stated Maturity Date”) or on such earlier date as the principal thereof may become due and payable in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(b) From (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) September 14, 2027 (the “Reset Date”) or any date of earlier redemption, the SNP Securities will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.138% per annum. From (and including) the Reset Date to (but excluding) the Stated Maturity Date or any date of earlier redemption, the SNP Securities will bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to the 1-year UST, as determined by the Calculation Agent, plus 270 basis points, such sum being converted to a semi-annual rate in accordance with market convention (rounded to the fifth decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards).

The Issuer will pay interest in arrears on the SNP Securities semi-annually on each Interest Payment Date, up to (and including) the Stated Maturity Date or any date of earlier redemption.

Interest on the SNP Securities will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months

For the purposes of calculating the rate of interest applicable from (and including) the Reset Date, “1-year UST” means an interest rate expressed as a percentage determined by the Calculation Agent to be the per annum rate equal to the yield to maturity for U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of one year, as published in the most recent H.15.

A-5

“Business Day” means any day, other than Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a Legal Holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the City of New York, London or Madrid.

“H.15” means the daily statistical release designated as such and published by the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve System under the caption “Treasury constant maturities”, or any successor or replacement publication as reasonably determined by the Company and notified to the Calculation Agent, that establishes yield on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities, and “most recent H.15” means the H.15 that includes a yield to maturity for U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of one year published closest in time (but prior to) the Reset Determination Date.

“Reset Determination Date” means the second Business Day immediately preceding the Reset Date.

(c) Except as described below for the first Interest Payment Date, on each Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will pay interest on the SNP Securities for the period commencing on and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding that Interest Payment Date.

On the first Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will pay interest for the period beginning on and including the Issue Date to but excluding March 14, 2023.

If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related interest payment shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date.

If the Stated Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption of any SNP Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of principal and interest on the applicable SNP Security will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest will accrue for the period from and after such Stated Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption.

Interest on each SNP Security will be paid only to the Person in whose name such SNP Security was registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for the applicable Interest Payment Date.

3. Additional Amounts. Any amounts to be paid by the Company with respect to each SNP Security shall be paid without withholding or deduction for or on account of any and all present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature (“Taxes”) unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event any such withholding or deduction is imposed or levied in respect of payment of interest (but not principal or premium) by or on behalf of the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power to tax, the Company will pay to the Holder such Additional Amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by the Holder of such SNP Security under the Indenture, after such withholding or deduction, shall equal the amount of interest, if any, which would have been receivable by such Holder in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts will not apply:

(a) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for such Taxes by reason of such Holder (or the beneficial owner of the SNP Security for whose benefit such Holder holds such SNP Security) having some connection with the Kingdom of Spain other than the mere holding of the SNP Security (or such beneficial interest) or the mere crediting of the SNP Security to its securities account with the relevant Depository;

(b) in the case of a SNP Security presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on such thirtieth day assuming that day to have been a Business Day in such place of presentment;

A-6

(c) in respect of any Tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure by the Holder or beneficial owner of the SNP Security to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or beneficial owner of that SNP Security, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the Kingdom of Spain or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to reduction of or relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(d) in respect of any SNP Security presented for payment (where presentation is required) by or on behalf of a Holder who would be able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant SNP Security to another Paying Agent; or

(e) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder if the Company does not receive any relevant information as may be required by Spanish tax laws and regulations (including any binding rulings), including a duly executed and completed Payment Statement from the Paying Agent.

Additional Amounts will also not be paid with respect to any payment on any SNP Security to any Holder who is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income, for Spanish tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, member of such partnership, interest holder in that limited liability company or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been a Holder of such SNP Security.

No Additional Amounts will be paid by the Company, the Trustee or any paying agent on account of any withholding or deduction from a payment on, or in respect of, the SNP Securities where such withholding or deduction is imposed pursuant to any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in connection with Sections 1471-1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder (“FATCA”), any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and the Kingdom of Spain or any other jurisdiction with respect to FATCA, or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted or issued in any jurisdiction implementing, or relating to, FATCA or any intergovernmental agreement.

4. Redemption for Taxation Reasons; Redemption for Eligible Liabilities Event; Optional Early Redemption (Issuer Call). (a) All or part only of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the Base Indenture at the option of the Company if, as the result of any change in or any amendment to the laws or regulations of the Kingdom of Spain (including any treaty to which the Kingdom of Spain is a party) or any political subdivision or any authority or agency thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change, amendment, application or interpretation becomes effective on or after September 14, 2022 (the Issue Date of the SNP Securities), (i) the Company would become obligated to pay Additional Amounts in making any payments under the SNP Securities with respect thereto as a result of any taxes, levies, imposts or other governmental charges imposed (whether by way of withholding or deduction or otherwise) by or for the account of the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power to tax, (ii) the Company would not be entitled to claim a deduction in computing tax liabilities in the Kingdom of Spain in respect of any interest to be paid on the next Interest Payment Date on the SNP Securities or the value of such deduction to the Company would be reduced, or (iii) the applicable tax treatment of the SNP Securities would be materially affected; provided that, (x) in the case of (i) above, no such notice to the Trustee of the redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to deduct or withhold tax or pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the SNP Securities then due, (y) the redemption shall be in compliance with the Applicable Banking Regulations (as defined herein), and (z) if required, the Company shall have obtained the prior consent of the Regulator (as defined herein).

Prior to any notice of redemption of the SNP Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(a), the Company shall provide the Trustee with (i) an Officer’s Certificate of the Company stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of circumstances showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to redeem such SNP Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(a) have been satisfied; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any of the circumstances referred to in paragraph 4(a) prevail.

A-7

(b) All (but not less than all) of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the Base Indenture at the option of the Company if an Eligible Liabilities Event occurs on or after September 14, 2022 (the Issue Date of the SNP Securities); provided that (i) the redemption shall be in compliance with the Applicable Banking Regulations and (ii) if required, the Company shall have obtained the prior consent of the Regulator.

Prior to any notice of redemption of the SNP Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(b), the Company shall provide the Trustee with (i) an Officer’s Certificate of the Company stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of circumstances showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to redeem such SNP Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(b) have been satisfied; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the circumstances referred to in paragraph 4(b) prevail.

(c) All or part only of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the Base Indenture at the option of the Company on the Reset Date; provided that, (i) the redemption shall be in compliance with the Applicable Banking Regulations and (ii) if required, the Company shall have obtained the prior consent of the Regulator.

5. Event of Default. “Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to this SNP Security, means (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) that, except as set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph, an order shall have been made by any competent court commencing insolvency proceedings (procedimiento concursal) against the Company or an order of any competent court or administrative agency shall have been made or a resolution shall have been passed by the Company for the liquidation or winding up of the Company (except (i) in the case of a reconstruction, consolidation, amalgamation or merger carried out in compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 8.01 of the Base Indenture (in this case, even without being approved by an Act of the Holders of the SNP Securities) or (ii) in any such case for the purpose of a reconstruction or a consolidation or an amalgamation or a merger which has been approved by an Act of the Holders of the SNP Securities).

Notwithstanding any other provision in these terms or the Indenture, any Resolution or Early Intervention with respect to the Company shall not, in and of itself and without regard to any other fact or circumstance, constitute a default or an Event of Default under the immediately preceding paragraph or any other provision in these terms or the Indenture with respect to the SNP Securities. In addition, neither (i) a reduction or cancellation, in part or in full, of the Amounts Due (as defined below) on the SNP Securities or the conversion thereof into another security or obligation of the Company or another Person, in each case as a result of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power (as defined below) by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority (as defined below) with respect to the Company, nor (ii) the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the SNP Securities, shall constitute an Event of Default or default under the Indenture or the SNP Securities or otherwise constitute non-performance of a contractual obligation, or entitle the Holders of the SNP Securities to any remedies, which are hereby expressly waived. In addition, no repayment or payment of Amounts Due on the SNP Securities shall become due and payable or be paid after the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority if, and to the extent that, such amounts have been reduced, converted, cancelled, amended or altered as a result of such exercise.

For the avoidance of doubt, only an Event of Default (rather than any breach or default under the Indenture or the SNP Security) may give rise to a declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.02 of the Base Indenture.

6. Substitution and Modification. Each Holder and beneficial owner of the SNP Securities shall, by virtue of its acquisition of the SNP Securities or any beneficial interest therein, be deemed to acknowledge, accept, consent to and agree to be bound by any substitution of or modification to the terms of the SNP Securities as set forth Section 8.04 of the Base Indenture and to grant to the Company and the Trustee full power and authority to take any action and/or to execute and deliver any document in the name and/or on behalf of such Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, which is necessary or convenient to complete the substitution of or modification to the terms of the SNP Securities, as applicable. Each Holder and beneficial owner of the SNP Securities, by virtue of its acquisition of the SNP Securities or any beneficial interest therein, to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, waives any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee and/or the Company for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee and/or the Company in respect of, and agrees that neither the Trustee nor the Company shall be liable for, any action that the Trustee or the Company takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in connection with the substitution of or modification to the terms of the SNP Securities upon the occurrence of an Eligible Liabilities Event.

8. Ranking. (a) The payment obligations of the Company under the SNP Securities on account of principal constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations (créditos ordinarios) of the Company and, in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the Insolvency Law and other applicable laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in the Kingdom of Spain (including, without limitation, Additional Provision 14.2 of Law 11/2015), but subject to any other ranking that may apply as a result of any mandatory provision of law (or otherwise), upon the insolvency (concurso de acreedores) of the Company will rank:

Upon the insolvency (concurso de acreedores) of the Company, in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the Insolvency Law and other applicable laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in the Kingdom of Spain, but subject to any other ranking that may apply as a result of any mandatory provision of law (or otherwise), the payment obligations of the Company under the SNP Securities with respect to claims for accrued but unpaid interest on the SNP Securities shall constitute subordinated claims (créditos subordinados) against the Company ranking in accordance with the provisions of the Insolvency Law. No further interest on the SNP Securities shall accrue from the date of declaration of the insolvency of the Company.

“Insolvency Law” means the restated text of the Insolvency Law, as approved by Spanish Royal Legislative Decree 1/2020 of May 5 (Real Decreto Legislativo 1/2020, de 5 de mayo, por el que se aprueba el texto refundido de la Ley Concursal), as amended, replaced or supplemented from time to time.

“ordinary claims” means the class of claims with respect to unsecured, non-privileged and unsubordinated obligations (créditos ordinarios) of the Company which, upon the insolvency (concurso de acreedores) of the Company and pursuant to the Insolvency Law and other applicable laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in the Kingdom of Spain, rank (i) junior to privileged claims (créditos privilegiados) (which shall include, among other claims, any claims in respect of deposits for the purposes of Additional Provision 14.1 of Law 11/2015 and any secured claims), and claims against the insolvency estate (créditos contra la masa) and (ii) senior to subordinated claims (créditos subordinados).

“Senior Non-Preferred Obligations” (créditos ordinarios no preferentes) means the obligations of the Company with respect to (i) the payment of principal under the SNP Securities and (ii) all other ordinary claims, present and future, which, upon the insolvency (concurso de acreedores) of the Company are expressed to rank within the ordinary claims but junior to Senior Preferred Obligations.

A-9

“Senior Preferred Obligations” means the obligations of the Company with respect to all ordinary claims (créditos ordinarios), present and future, other than Senior Non-Preferred Obligations.

Each Holder and beneficial owner of this SNP Security by his acceptance thereof, to the extent permitted by Spanish law, authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the ranking of the SNP Securities provided in this paragraph 8 and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes, including, if required, to grant any private or public documents on such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s behalf.
